Likes:
Like the weight; it handles the crosswinds over the Benicia bridge (30 mph gusts) just fine
Like all the admiring looks
Like the rear storage matching the blue bike
Like the smooth power
Dislikes:
Dislike the riding position (too high); makes center of gravity too high and cornering more problematic
Dislike distance for feet to touch ground (prefer a saddle where I can use both legs to support bike at stop sign)
Dislike the cost dealership charges for a oil change (or anything else...bmw= break my wallet for sure); Brake lever was a hundred bucks!! Could NOT believe it.
Dislike everything using Torx heads...damn stupid.
I've owned several Hondas (305 Dream was my first bike then owned a 350 in Hawaii); a Bridgestone 350 2 cycle that I put back together after someone wrecked it; a Harley; and a Chinese honda knock off scooter). First and probably last BMW. I don't hate it, I bought it for the looks and because it was heavy enough to get across the bridge...still does those things well.
